Question Rubber "BOOT" for rear shock XT600?? HELP!
Does anyone know where I can get hold of one of the rubber "BOOT" things that fit on the bottom of the shock and around the square hole on the Swing-arm?? The bike is a 1989 2KF XT600
I cannot find a Yamaha Dealer near to me that speaks English as I don't speak Spanish, ( even if I could I'm transportless at the moment so having to rely on post and Internet to get the bike up and running)

I have even thought of buying a secondhand rear shock off ebay but at about 60 euro inc postage it seems steep just to get hold of rubber boot?

So, if anyone can help me, (Maybe you have one lying around that is in good condition and would sell it) or you know who i can order one from i would be eternally grateful

Thanks

Martyn

Why not phone a dealer in the UK ???

I work in a motorcycle dealer. If you want me too, I can order and post the boot to you.

Will have to be new one though.
